Beach Day

Pam, Andrew, and the boys are on vacation at the beach in Bethune. They graciously invited us to come up Monday and spend some time on the beach. It was a welcome day away from the house, and all the anticipation of the pool. (still under construction) The kids had a lot of fun playing together. Steven did some boogie boarding. Amanda Lily mostly played in the sand pit Andrew built, and jumped the waves. She also LOVES hunting for seashells. I told her we had a new mission to find ones with holes in them. Thank you Deborah for the fabulous idea of making jewelry out of the holey shells. We were all over it! Found lots of good ones for projects. (;

The kids all had a great time burying George in the sand, and checking out sand crabs. I had fun catching up with Pam. It was so nice to just lay there in the chairs chit chatting and soaking up some much needed sun.

We went out for dinner at a really nice Seafood restaurant. Pam, George, and Steven were thrilled with the calamari, lobster tail, and shrimp. Andrew and myself had to suffer and eat things like Hamburger and Sirloin Steak. LOL. It was good, we non seafood eaters just wanted to give them a hard time. We had a great time just hanging out and relaxing while the kids all played. Good Memories.

Why Do I Blog?

I use this blog as my online memory bank. If my words seem self serving, they are. I already find myself looking back on older posts and thinking...oh yea, I forgot that happened. It is also useful for our family members who live abroad to keep up with the kids growing. And, it comes in handy for organizing our favorite recipes. I like the idea that these recipes will all be compiled in one place for ease of access, and for my kids in the future. This blog has become my virtual recipe book.

About Me

I am married to the love of my life, George. I was so fortunate to meet him at a young age. He and our children Steven and Amanda Lily are my heart. We are blessed with a thriving business, and wonderful patrons who visit often. We have a wonderful family on both sides. There is the loving, loud, and fun Greek side. Then there is my side, the loving, not so loud, Southern family.
I take pride in being very involved in my children's school and education.
I also enjoy singing in the ensemble at church, shopping with friends, crafting with my Mom, and date night with my husband.I am a domestic girl. I LOVE cooking and decorating my home. Also, parties and entertaining. I live a charmed life, and thank God daily for the many blessings he has given my family.
